Bubba,

Have you read Brian Wilson's biography? It is an excellent read.

Brian is back with the Beach Boys after all these years! *YEAH*

I couldn't make a Top Five list because I have so many favorite compositions, in which many here would scratch their head in bewilderment when I dropped names! For example, the most beautiful song of all time was a reindition of a Renaissance era ballad called "Joy to the Person of my Love" by the Baltimore Consort.
